Forget league titles and European glory, keeping QPR up will top the lot, says Hughes

Mark Hughes has won Premier League titles, FA and League Cups and European honours.

But according to the QPR manager keeping his team in the Premier League will top all of those achievements.

The club dropped into the relegation places under the Welshman but it is now in their own hands to stay up.

Mark my words: Hughes understands the size of the task in hand

They have five games – starting away to West Bromwich Albion on Saturday – to secure top-flight football next year.

At Manchester United Hughes won two league titles, three FA Cups, one League Cup, one Cup Winners' Cup and three Charity Shields.

He won a League Cup at Blackburn and with Chelsea he added another FA Cup, League Cup and Cup Winners' Cup.

But when asked where keeping QPR up would rank he replied: 'Right at the top. It is difficult I haven't done it before coming in halfway through the season.

'There were fundamental problems that we had to address and it takes time.

'Now everybody has a real sense of belonging and a sense things are going to happen positively.'

The 48-year-old said he has hugely changed the club since he joined on January 10 to create that positivity.

He is working on overhauling the training ground and gym to make it a better environment for the players.

He added: 'The gym is a prime example. When we walked into the gym it wasn't fit for purpose. It wasn't a working gym for a professional football club.

'All that's had to change we've ripped things out and changed the whole situation there.

'When the guys come back in the summer they'll see this place different again.

'I don't think there's a great deal of love for [the training ground] and you can understand why. You need to change that and people need to understand this is our place of work and it's got to be a nice environment.

'I've been through this before at Man City when I walked through the door then. It was a club that needed shaping in the right direction. That's what's needed here.'
